How will God respond next? Will He personally descend to fight? We humans won't hide or flee!

Or is it that because the connection with the underworld has been destroyed, God is powerless?

That's not impossible. After all, the barrier is incredibly strong, and conversely, the things it protects are incredibly important.

If that's not the case, come on!

Oscar and others also stood side by side with Meredith, without saying a word, but showing their firm will to God.

A while passed - enough time for Meredy and the others to regain their breathing stability.

However, still nothing changed.

“…Is it over?”

Ross asked, somewhat bewilderedly. Only then did Meredith lower her gaze back to the ground. She turned around and glanced at all her companions. Then...

"Yohoho, it worked!"

With a broad smile on his face and his hands raised high, Oscar and the others glanced at each other, and after a delay, they also smiled broadly and gave Miledy a high five.

──Inside the Royal Palace, the Great Chapel.

The deadly battle between the White Light Knights and the mixed forces of the Liberator and the Pirates gradually came to an end.

All three legion commanders had fallen, and nearly all the captain-level knights had been killed. Meanwhile, the Light Guardian Knights Tules and Seth had suddenly looked upward in surprise during the battle, revealing a fatal flaw, and then—

"What? Are you so surprised that your comrade lost?"

"Finally, a flaw has been revealed."

They were beheaded by Bart and Chris respectively.

Currently, Leleye was the only captain left. However, she was seriously injured and had lost her weapon, so she was almost unable to command the remaining nearly 200 men.

The Liberators also lost around 200 men, and their defensive equipment, including the Metal Bartram, was nearly exhausted. However, the morale of both sides was completely different. To overcome their blind faith in absolutes, even when exhausted, their will to resist kept their morale burning like a blaze. At this time—

"Announce to the world. I am Meredith Rasen. I am the leader of the "Liberators," an organization opposed to the Church."

Hearing this, Bart and others raised their lips.

The White Light Knights stared with wide eyes, looking outside the collapsed wall, which was the sky above the capital.

There, they saw...

──The east side of the Divine Capital.

"What a troublesome bunch."

General Resichina and her demons formed a battle formation in front of the giant tree wall surrounding the central square to resist the attack of the Knights.

No matter how many people they defeated, the Knights continued to charge forward like crazy, shouting "All for God!" and "Long live the martyrdom!" By this time, the demons were already mentally exhausted.

"General! Notice from the Liberator! There are three people nearby, they appear to be a family!"

"What!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three figures running out from the alley a little further away. They were a little girl and a couple. They seemed to think the central square was the safest place and planned to take refuge there.

Of course, they couldn't easily enter because of the barrier created by Lek Aileyin.

At the same time, the Knights were using the people as human shields. The appearance of that family was a timely relief for the Knights.

"Catch them!"

Two knights approached the family of three. For a moment, they must have thought the knights were coming to rescue them, but fear quickly returned. They saw the knights' expressions filled with madness and malice.

It is right to sacrifice one's life for one's faith - even though the couple understood this truth, they subconsciously used their bodies to block it for their daughter.

"This is such a hassle!"

The couple heard a loud noise and the heat wave that followed, and they shrank back even more in fear. But the girl, who was being held in her parents' arms, saw the scene through the gaps in her parents' arms.

The back of a figure, her body ablaze with crimson flames, stood before the knights. The knights shouted, "She's come to save us!" "Good opportunity! Concentrate your attacks!" as they launched slashes of light at her. But the figure didn't flinch, cleaving through all obstacles with her twin, blazing swords.

Finally, the demon's subordinates came to attack from both sides and finally defeated the knights.

Panting heavily, Lesichina took out the Door Calling from the Treasure Vault and turned to face the family of three. The bright firelight illuminated her flowing red hair and a brown skin the girl had never seen before.

"So beautiful..."

"Um?"

Lesichina thought that these people's reactions would be the same as those of the people she had rescued before, either fear or disgust, and they did not understand that they were being saved.

Therefore, the girl's mumbling made her stop.

At that moment, the girl emerged from her parents' arms and ran towards Resichina. "Ahhh!? W-What are you doing!?" Resichina took three steps back in panic. Even when facing the knight's attack, she had never been so panicked.

The girl pulled a small stone from her pocket and handed it to Leskina. It was an ordinary stone, but if there was anything special about it, it was that it looked a bit like a slightly twisted heart.

"for you!"

"Uh, what are you doing!? What are you planning!?"

"Hmm? Thank you for saving me, beautiful onee-sama!"

After saying this, the girl grabbed Lesiqina's hand and put the heart-shaped stone into her hand. The stone must be the girl's secret treasure.

Leskina froze for a moment, looking at the pebble in her hand with a puzzled expression. Then, she wanted to say something to the girl, but she didn't know what to say. After a moment's hesitation...

"Uh, hum, I'll accept it as a favor to you. But don't get me wrong! I'm a member of the glorious Majin clan! I won't be fawned over by humans!"

How could you say such things to a child... The subordinates stared at Resichina with accusatory eyes. But Resichina didn't notice, and simply turned her face away with a blush.

At this moment, she suddenly heard someone's voice. It was the woman she regarded as a thorn in her side, the daughter of the Lassen family.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

Looking up, I found that Miledi appeared on the north side of the central square.

The other six magicians of the Age of Gods followed behind her.

An image of seven people standing with their backs to the sun on the top of a distant sacred peak appeared in the sky.

The image appears transparent, probably a projection created by some method.

"We defeated the Pope, the Knights of the Guardian Light, and the Apostles of God."

The character in the picture said this, each word carefully spoken, revealing his sincerity and real intent.

Suddenly, the noisy central square fell silent. Even the knights who were rushing over stopped and could only open their mouths in surprise.

"What is a knockdown?"

"...It means we've dealt with the bad guys."

The girl tilted her head and asked. Leskina answered her question and decided to use the "Calling Door" later.

Because now, for no reason, she wanted to listen with this girl to what the person in the air was going to say next.

──The East Gate of the Divine Capital.

"Phew, phew... I'm saved. Thank you, Mr. Brave."

"Hey, hey, same here, General Elgar."

Elgar and Lionhead fell to their knees, panting heavily. Knights Yakin and Ye Difu fell before them.

"Can you still move?"

"Haha, it's a bit hard on my old bones."

Elgar was seriously injured. Lionhead cast a healing spell on him, and he was no longer in danger, but he was still unable to move. Lionhead himself was also covered in wounds, his armor completely damaged, and he was exhausted and trembling.

"I never thought I'd see the day I'd be helped by a hero. It seems anything can happen if you live long enough."

"I never thought that there would be a day when I would fight alongside the Demon General."

The two of them smiled wryly at each other, feeling a bit awkward and complicated. While their bodies might need some rest before they could move, it seemed there was no need to worry now.

"Oh, is it over?"

"Ms. Meredith...that's very kind of you."

The two looked up at the projection in the sky...

"People around the world, what do you think of what happened today?"

At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and a look of relief appeared on his face.

──Outer wall of the east gate.

“What… is that…?”

The Giant God Soldier disintegrated, and Knight Otaru fell to the ground. The Black Knight King also gradually disintegrated. Hebiel's expression was visibly shaken. The one who answered her question was a cheerful Rasl.

"I heard it's a divine weapon called 'Skynet'."

"Oh my god... what?"

"Skynet. A divine device capable of transmitting sound and images to distant lands. Do you understand what this means?"

Hebielu narrowed her eyes in confusion, and then her throat twitched as if she had thought of an incredible possibility.

"After seeing what the knights did and hearing what Pope Lucier said, what are your thoughts?"

What do you think? If that's the case, then people all over the world—

Hebiye's face turned pale, she couldn't believe what she heard. She stared at Lasser, hoping for a negative answer.

Lasser just shrugged at her with an irritatingly flippant attitude.

"Right now, every country, city, town, and village in the world must be in chaos. Because everyone is watching our battle."

Indeed, this is the ultimate purpose of using the Skynet, a communication device with an image transmission function.

So that the whole world could watch the battle between the liberators from beginning to end.

To spread the words of Meredith and the bells of change throughout the continent.

"This must be stopped immediately!"

Hebiyelu tried to run away, but the bloody devil blade blocked her way.

"Don't waste your time. Just listen quietly to what she has to say."

Lasser said this with a smile. Hebiel could only glare at him indignantly.

——Luke Airenne above the central square.

The fleet had all stopped moving. So, Sarus sat on the bridge, watching Meredith and the others in the sky. The bridge undoubtedly offered the best view of the privileged seats.

"At least all our running around was worth it."

In order to transmit such images to villages and towns around the world, it was necessary to set up "Skynet" in various places as the starting point for the projection of images. Of course, the entire battle process was also broadcasted in the central square.

"God is an absolute being, and humans are merely pawns in that being's game. We are helpless to any treatment we receive. Everyone, can you accept this?"

Many people cursed Meredith, insisting it was justified. Many faces were twisted with anger and hatred.

However, the citizens of other nations listened intently to her words. Even some among the gods' people stared at her with serious expressions.

"I...I can't accept this! Because I can't accept it, I want to change this world!"

The expressions of the heads of state seemed to indicate that they had come to some kind of realization and understood something.

Seeing this, Sarus breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back deeply against the back of the captain's seat.

"Miletti, come on."

Mikaela, standing nearby, echoed this sentiment. Sarus muttered the same words.

——Simon, the capital of God.

Will the change succeed?

Cui's mind has returned to normal. She is paying attention to the movements of the Knights and comes to Shim and asks.

Meredith continued to expound the truth about God, explaining that the long-standing war between humans and demons was merely God's game. Listening to her speech, Shim gave a slight, wry smile.

"Who knows? If it were so easy to change, no one would bother."

"Is that so?"

"But we still have to think of a solution. The real battle will begin soon."

"Ah, even so, Tsui won't be working anymore."
